Love after Love

Happy and sad

Bruised and hurt

Broken and crushed

Her heart – a thousand fragments

Void of the glue it needs

Empty and desolate

Desperate and shaken

Her soul – an agonized one

Void of the charm and happiness it needs

Day and night

Every second and minute

Her thoughts – disturbingly wavery

Void of the stability they need

Then came a day

When she no longer wanted to be the

Way she is

Vulnerable and scared

After innumerable vain trials

She finally found this person

One whom she always ignored

Rather chose to, over others

One who always loved her

One who laughed when she did

One who cried when she did

One who knew her by heart

One who was like her shadow – omnipresent

One who was always there with and for her,

Through thick and thin

She stared into the mirror

Loving the stranger who was once herself

With a warm loving heart

A happy broken soul

Momentarily stabilized thoughts

She found herself

In a way, different in its whole entirety

She found happiness in her own presence

Mesmerizing peaceful solitude

She never knew that existed

“I’ve found love after love’” she thought

And started living.
